Hello ever9..some advice needed please.
We recently moved into a lovely HA home but are now being targeted with harressment because I park opposite our property rather than along side our hedge. The road is unodopted and there are no parking restrictions whatsoever. I am not blocking anyone's access or making it difficult for vehicles to pass. I park with the flow of traffic...but we are constantly being intimidated to try and force me to park the "way we want you to". Help and advice needed..

It’s an unadopted Road so it is unlikely there will be much traffic. I am sure if the OP was obstructing her neighbours the police would have advised her to park elsewhere.

I’ve been trying to keep my mouth shut,but I can’t!

In her first post on another thread ( to which I stupidly responded) Swolleneyes actually said that she parked on the hedge side of the road outside her property and all the neighbours (plural) asked her to park on the other side of he road like they did.

Swolleneyes asked for that to be deleted and started this thread with a somewhat different story. Then came they disabled children. Then the old man with a black eye. Then the police etc, etc.

It grows in the telling. Draw your own conclusions. I have.

HQ will probably tick me off now for talking about another thread

Eglantine21, thank you for the enlightenment. I'm done here!

A wooden nose perhaps?

Well spotted eglantine

It is the snowball effect, gathering material as it rolls.

What is the point?

Elegran Thu 28-Jun-18 17:23:15

Good question.

Yes, I did roll my eyes a few times when the stakes were upped with each fresh post from swolleneyes, totally drip feeding fake news information to make her more and more the victim.

The disabled adult children, and the forthcoming SGO (I think) for a grandchild, with one adult child being prompted into a seizure did it for me. Why on earth would anyone dig their heels in to that extent over a stupid hedge/parking space, placing vulnerable adults at risk.

I'm sorry I bit with my first post. I should have stuck to my instinct and just scrolled on by!

Eglantine - not just me then! Thank goodness. I was thinking throughout - "just cut the b****y hedge, then escalating to "Oh come on, we weren't born yesterday!"

She's kept us going for four pages though

Elegran Fri 29-Jun-18 10:12:04

Or we kept going along with it for four pages.

Reading some posts with eyes would show things like "Each time you post, you add something else to the crimes of this man and your own troubles. It is like a snowball."

and "There has been a thread on Gransnet very recently about wide hedges - maybe you have read it?"

Elegran Fri 29-Jun-18 10:12:48

That should have said "with eyes open"

The road belongs to everyone. Although I'd personally prefer to park close to my property, it is not always possible.

With everything else you have going on in your lives surely it would be easier to just park right outside your own property? It must look as tho you are deliberately parking in a difficult place, whether it’s right or not, don’t make a fuss over something so petty.

thecatgrandma, this isn't a post I've made previously but as the say on mums net RTBT (please)
